Robert “has served as a mentor to many young attorneys. He is generous with his time and gives invaluable advice,” says Erin M. Fairley, who nominated Robert for the award. She adds, “Bob exemplifies professionalism in practice because he treats colleagues, adversaries, and clients with equal respect. Bob is the consummate gentleman in all situations and, as such, professionalism is not a trait he needs to work on but a trait that Bob models on a daily basis.”
